Many thanks guys, appreciate the info, sucks a bit but really glad I asked before wasting a lot of money, Based on this I don’t think I will bother as it will be 3x the cost just for a slightly larger screen. So for now I will just update the firmware version.

Hi all, has been a while since my last post but looking to do a couple of upgrades on my newer Skoda Octavia MK3 Estate, it’s a 2015 1.6 TDI and already has factory rear parking sensors, but looking at adding a reversing camera too, my preference is to do it properly and have been reading the forums about the various kits available on Aliexpress. I assume once programmed the two will work together. i was looking last night at my existing Headunit etc and will be doing the firmware update soon as it’s very old, looks like I have a MIB1 with PN 5E0035874A (photo attached) So wanted to check, if this one is suitable as it states it’s for a MK3 Octavia but doesn’t really confirm compatibility with the headunit. Also not sure what is meant by Highline? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000788170108.html At the same time it would be nice to upgrade to a larger screen, looking on another thread the following PN 3V0919606 appears to be what I need, but again before I purchase I wanted to check if it’s compatible and a straight swap, it’s looks the same just with the larger screen. I have got access to VCDS if needed but would prefer a simple swap if possible. Any advice / Tips / confirmation on the Screen and Camera I am looking at is gratefully appreciated, many thanks ☺️

Hi Guys, During the install of my hands free kit i removed the glove box and dove it for a few days without the glove box inplace, I stupidly didn't reconnect the AirBag switch during that time, and now i am stuck with an airbag warning light on, i dont think there is a problem with the system, only that i was disconnected for a period of time. Problem is I have my MOT on the 3rd of March and I believe it's a failure, Mr Clutch want £35 just to clear the light....??? I have "http://www.enginecheck.co.uk/" ODB software and it can read the codes but wont clear them, does this have to be cleared by a main dealer? or a better tool? Car is a Skoda Octavia 2010 1.6 CD TDI Any advice is much appreciated Thanks

ah OK, bummer, in that case it's going on eBay. Thanks for the confirmation really appreciate it

Hi Guys, So i was hoping i could just swap my heater control panel to the other style unit and had seen on the forums it's a simple change with a modification to one of the pins/wires so i bought the following unit and also the correct solver facia surround too. SKODA OCTAVIA MK2 1Z 2009 - 2013 HEATER AIR CON CONTROL PANEL 3T0907044AB (Please see attached photo of a similar unit) Anyway i removed mine and then found that one of the 3x connectors is completely different and some of the wires are larger as if they carry a much larger current. (Please see the 2nd attached photo of the rear of my actual unit.) Is it possible for me to retrofit the better control panel or shall i just put back on eBay? Many thanks

Many thanks guys, really appreciate it Ouch !! They are expensive, i can see loads on units on eBay that are much cheaper, is there a list of or way of getting compatible part numbers for the bluetooth unit? I think that would half the cost and i could always visit the breakers yard. RE: the DIS I am still not sure as i have a Black Display with white text, but no images of car doors etc, please see attached photo of my cars cluster many thanks !!

Hi All, Sorry haven't had a Sokda before, but in previous Fords i have retrofitted loads of stuff, I love my new Octavia (only has it a week) but it doesn't have Bluetooth which i need to the amount of driving i do, I have a 3rd party kit that connects to Standard ISO plugs if needs be, but i would much prefer the real thing. I understand for reading other threads that it will need programming so that i am aware of, but i am not clear on what part numbers for the control unit and which loom is required. Also i don't see any How to guides for this, most people see to go for the Fiscon option, are these better? My Car is a Octavia 1.6 TDI CR SE Facelift 2010 I have a Balero head unit, and the cluster has a LCD screen i can use with cruse control, no idea if this is maxidot as i have never seen one before, but i am guessing its a standard LCD unit. Any advice or assistance is much appreciated.
